Drug Company CEOs Sign Pledge on Covid-19 Vaccine
Nine drugmakers said Tuesday their chief executives signed a pledge promising to not file for regulatory approval or authorization of their experimental Covid-19 vaccines until the shots have shown to work safely through late-stage clinical testing.
The Wall Street Journal first reported on the companies’ pledge on Friday.
The pledge was signed by the heads of AstraZeneca PLC, GlaxoSmithKline PLC, Johnson & Johnson, Merck & Co., Moderna Inc., Novavax Inc., and Sanofi SA, BioNTech SE and Pfizer Inc.
In it, the companies say “the safety and well-being of vaccinated individuals” would always be their top priority. They promise to keep following scientific and ethical standards in clinical trials testing the Covid-19 shots, and in manufacturing. They also pledge to ensure supply across the world.
